We're doing quite well, as it so happens.

Paying fair wages means better work output, which means you can get higher quality results, and actually means lower total cost. It's better business than trying to scrape usable results out of bottom-dollar markets like Turk, and far easier, to boot.

We're growing fast and hiring: https://www.mobileworks.com/careers/
